thanks to my scholarship, I am fulfilling my dream.
Thanks to my scholarship, I am fulfilling my dream. 2008 annual report It wasn’t that long ago when April Bowman was a high school student at Mariner High School in Everett. She wanted to attend college but money was an issue, and she didn’t grow up in a college-going culture to help her understand the ins and outs of selecting and applying for schools. Still, her parents were supportive, and April was in the first cohort of students awarded College Success Foundation scholarships under the Achievers Program. Today, after graduating from the University of Washington, she has returned to Mariner as a College Preparatory Advisor for CSF. April is giving back by helping students become collegeready and prepare for college by coordinating the application process, assisting with the financial aid forms, and mentoring them through the high school-to-college transition. “I love the energy of the students,” she observes, “and I love that I’m having an impact on their lives.” ” Thanks to my scholarship, I have a career that doesn’t feel like work. I am helping people and serving as a role model to students in my community. ” — a p r i l b o w m a n CSF College Preparatory Advisor and Achievers Scholarship Alumna College Su ccess Foundation Pe rform an ce Sco re Card (thro ug h D ecemb er 2008) 1,291 Graduates with bachelor ’s Degr ees As we enter our ninth year as an organization, the College 1,400 Success Foundation is in 14 municipalities across Washington 1,200 600 Foundation and Washington State Mentors.

Co llege suc c ess fo undat io n 2008 annual repo rt | 3 achievers scholarship program The Washington State Achievers Scholarship is an innovative multi-year, multi-level program designed to encourage low-income, high-potential students to obtain bachelor’s degrees. Created in 2001 and funded by a 15-year $120 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Achievers Scholarship Program redefines how students in 16 Washington State schools discover and qualify for college scholarships. Recipients are selected on non-traditional measures designed to identify which students are most likely to succeed in college. The Achievers Program starts early with college awareness and preparation for students who otherwise might not fully understand the college entry process. Specific programs, such as HERO for underrepresented students, especially young men of color, offer opportunities and promise at a time when many students start dropping out of school. As students progress, they receive academic and mentoring support. The mentoring continues into college to help them succeed. It concludes with alumni networking programs and post-baccalaureate career and graduate education guidance. ” Thanks to my scholarship, I can continue my education, ” not just for myself, but for the entire community. — r ay c o r o n a achi evers scholar s h ip p r o g r am 3 9 6 1 sch o l a r s h i ps s i n c e 2 0 0 1 8 4 0 g r a du at e s at e n d o f 2 0 0 8 $120 million raised 4 | C o l l eg e s u c c e s s f ou n d at io n 2 0 0 8 a n n u a l rep ort A senior at Mariner High School in Everett, Ray Corona was excited and nervous about the prospect of being selected for an Achievers Scholarship. He knew it would be difficult especially since English was a challenge for him. Not to be discouraged, Ray worked on his application essays every day for a month at the school’s career center, met the additional Achievers requirements, and was awarded a scholarship. “My goal was to get into college,” he observes, “and now I can work to promote education with other students from the Hispanic community.” Ray is planning to attend Western Washington University in the fall.

He worked two jobs in high school to raise money to help pay for college. Alex had assumed he would have to maintain this same workload once he got to college, even though it would interfere with his studies and his extracurricular life. With help from the Chateau Ste. Michelle Scholarship, he attended Washington State University where he was a residential advisor and worked as a Multicultural Student Mentor for the Asian American Pacific Islander Student Center. He received his degree in Communications with a minor in Hospitality Business Management in four years, thus becoming the first person in his family to graduate from college.

Michelle—led by President and CEO Ted Baseler—advocates for increasing diversity at our state’s colleges and universities. For the past seven years, Chateau Ste. Michelle has worked in partnership with the College Success Foundation to provide scholarships to underrepresented minority students at the University of Washington and Washington State University through its annual Chateau Ste. Michelle Diversity Dinner. Beginning in 2009, the Chateau Ste. Michelle Scholarship Fund will broaden its focus to provide four-year diversity scholarships to underrepresented, low-income minority students in Washington to attend any college or university in our state under the auspices of the Leadership 1000 Scholarship Program of the College Success Foundation. “At Chateau Ste. Michelle we are committed to the belief that diversity is key to our success as a business,” notes Baseler. “Unfortunately, higher education is often inaccessible to the families of underrepresented minority students. These deserving individuals should not be denied the opportunities for learning and discovery that are available to their peers in a university setting.” ” Thanks to my scholarship, I got the breathing room I needed in college to do everything from spending time in ” the library to participating in community assistance. — AL e x b o u n t h a r a t h c h ateau s te. mic h el l e sch o l ar s h ip f u n d 1 0 7 sch o l a r s hi ps si nce 2001 6 2 g r a du at e s at e nd of 2008 $ 2 .5 m i l l i o n r ai se d Co llege suc c ess fo undat io n 2008 annual repo rt | 7 costco sc holarship fund Since 2000, Costco Wholesale has teamed with the University of Washington and Seattle University to create scholarships for high achieving, underrepresented students. The goal of the Costco Scholarship Fund is to assist the universities with the balance of diversity on their campuses. A supporter of the College Success Foundation from the very start, Costco has demonstrated its commitment to offer deserving students access to college. Each year, the company hosts the Costco Scholarship Breakfast that brings together nearly 1000 members of the business and philanthropic community, providing funding for hundreds of scholarships. “We believe in the power of education and its impact upon the future of our country,” says Costco President and CEO Jim Sinegal. “Through the Costco Scholarship, young men and women from diverse backgrounds are able to graduate from college and ultimately broaden the diversity of an educated workforce in our communites.” ” Thanks to my scholarship, I was able to experience college and approach my future in an entirely different way—to go where I ” wanted to go and learn what I wanted to learn. cost co scholarsh ip f u n d 9 0 2 sch o l a r s h i ps s i n c e 2 0 0 1 3 5 0 g r a du at e s at e n d o f 2 0 0 8 $ 1 8 .9 m i l l i o n r a i s e d 8 | C o l l eg e s u c c e s s f ou n d at io n 2 0 0 8 a n n u a l rep ort — Elizabeth Carbajal Elizabeth Carbajal had always dreamed about attending college, but her family was poor. Her mother had to work hard to make ends meet, but her family was committed to seeing her and her sister have the opportunity to get an education. Thanks to her Costco Scholarship, Elizabeth attended the University of Washington where she double-majored in sociology and art. After graduation, she was hired by Costco and has worked there for three-and-a-half years as an inventory control specialist. “The scholarship changed my life,” she notes.

Then suddenly she was whisked away by her parents to the U.S. and thrust into a life with a family she hardly knew. After some troubling times and a chaotic family situation, she entered foster care at the age of 14. Over the next five years Lane was placed in six different foster homes and struggled with difficult life challenges. However, she prevailed and received a Governors’ Scholarship, eventually graduating from Western Washington University with a major in sociology. Now Lane volunteers and helps other foster youth, letting them know that they, like she, can be successful in college and in life with the right supports.

The Governors’ Scholarship gives young people from foster care in Washington State a chance to earn college degrees. Begun in 2001 by then Governor Gary Locke, the Governors’ Scholarship—supported and endorsed by all former and current Washington State Governors—brings hope and opportunity to those raised in foster care so they can become self-sufficient and productive adults, prepared for success in life, school, and work. The challenges are often enormous. Foster youth can be transferred from home to home when they are young and then set out on their own when they are 18 with no resources to continue their education. Many of these students have faced additional challenges such as difficult family situations, homelessness, and shelter living. This year, over $500,000 was raised at the annual Governors’ Cup Golf Tournament in support of the scholarship, bringing the total raised to $3.3 million. The amount was enough to provide 44 four-year college scholarships. Over 75 businesses contribute annually to the event, including founding sponsors KKR and Nike. ” Thanks to my scholarship, I realized on a deeper level that there were people who believed in me—people who ” felt I had the potential to stay in school and not drop out. — lane shtelen was h in g to n s tate g o ver n o r s ’ sch o l ar s h ip f o r f o s t e r y o u t h 1 7 6 sch o l a r s h i ps si nce 2001 1 7 g r a du at e s at e nd of 2008 $ 3 .3 m i l l i o n r ai se d Co llege suc c ess fo undat io n 2008 annual repo rt | 11 leadership 1000 sc holarship The Leadership 1000 Scholarship Program matches deserving young men and women with generous individual, foundation, and business donors who promise to provide $5000 for each of four years to assist their scholars in earning their college degrees. The types of donors who sponsor a Leadership 1000 student are those who value education and recognize the importance—and the advantages—of bringing opportunities for learning to students who otherwise might not be able to attend college. They are people who want to reach out and make a difference, one student at a time. A Leadership 1000 Scholarship can be customized around a general set of requirements requested by the donor, such as a student attending a particular high school or college or pursuing a specific major. In 2008 under the Leadership 1000 Program, The Martinez Foundation—founded by former Mariner great Edgar Martinez and his wife Holli—pledged to fund ten $20,000 four-year scholarships for Latino undergraduates. Other businesses and individuals, such as O Wines and M Powered Events, also created innovative scholarship programs. ” Thanks to my scholarship, I was able to connect with someone whose commitment to philanthropy went far beyond finances. He is a mentor whose career and life experiences are helping to ” shape and develop my professional and personal growth. leadershi p 1 0 0 0 sc h o l ar s h ip 1 5 6 sch o l a r s h i ps s i n c e 2 0 0 1 1 9 g r a du at e s at e n d o f 2 0 0 8 $ 2 .7 m i l l i o n r a i s e d 12 | C o l l eg e s u c c e s s f ou n d at io n 2 0 0 8 a n n u al rep ort — j o n k e l e ta Jon Keleta was born in Eritrea—a small civil war-torn country in East Africa.

There are estimated to be more than 240,000 children in Washington State who could benefit from having a mentor yet only 30,000 have one. This leaves a gap of more than 200,000. Washington State Mentors is closing that gap. Washingt on S tate Ment ors J im M a r s h President & COO L a r ry W r i g ht Executive Director Washington State Mentors is the only organization serving the statewide mentoring community, acting as an information broker between the state’s 200 direct-service mentoring providers, state agencies and benefactors.

Perhaps most significantly, the number of children with a mentor has grown from 12,000 to 30,000 in the last four years, in part due to the efforts of WSM. Washington State Mentors is the champion of mentoring in Washington State and remains committed to closing the mentoring gap. For further information on Washington State Mentors, the WSM 2008 Annual Report is available upon request. Since its inception in 2004, WSM has awarded more than 75 grants to direct-service mentoring providers worth $4 million.

CSF and the Higher Education Coordinating Board (HECB) helped launch the program that puts low-income seventh and eighth graders on the path to a college education by offering the promise of tuition when the student reaches college age if the student keeps up his or her grades and stays crime-free. Thanks to a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, CSF has established a marketing and outreach program throughout the state so that low-income families are able to sign up for the scholarship opportunity. College Access Network Builds in Washington State: As part of developing a Washington State College Access Network, the College Success Foundation completed an in-depth geographically based gap analysis of college access/readiness services in the state with grant support from College Spark Washington. CSF is partnering with the HECB, GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs), NELA, College Spark Washington and National College Access Network on this project. Based on the findings, a plan was developed to provide in-school and community-based college readiness supports to target student populations in areas of need. In addition, plans are underway to launch a statewide college access network that will bring together youth serving organizations, colleges and universities and access organizations to better coordinate college access supports and fill existing geographic gaps in services. 16 | C o l l eg e s u c c e s s f ou n d at io n 2 0 0 8 a n n u al rep ort KnowHow2GO Washington Campaign Launched: KnowHow2GO is a national grassroots effort designed to help ensure that students have the information they need to prepare for college.

Among its efforts was support for the CORE 24 initiative to strengthen high school curriculum requirements. Funding Raised for Tacoma Expansion: The College Success Foundation raised $2 million of the $3 million needed to open the Tacoma College Success Foundation offices in 2009. In addition, CSF has developed many collaborating partnerships with Tacoma organizations and is meeting with Tacoma community stakeholders and opinion leaders in support of the program. Summer Enrichment Experiences Fundraising Events JumpStart Begins: JumpStart is a new academic support program for Achievers Scholars who have been identified as needing additional developmental course work in math and/ or English to be successful in the college class room. In the first year of the program 189 students participated in the program at either Eastern Washington University or one of 12 Washington community colleges. In addition to developmental instruction in math and/or English, students participated in special orientation and student engagement activities that supported not only academic development but acclimation to college life and the campus experience. DC CSF operates a similar JumpStart program. Martinez Scholarship Hits a Home Run for Students: The Martinez Latino Scholarship Fund, under the auspices of the Leadership 1000 program, was funded this year. Thanks to the efforts of Edgar and Holli Martinez, a very successful gala event was held in October to raise money to provide ten $20,000 four-year undergraduate scholarships for Latino students. Additional funding will support Master in Teaching diversity scholarships for graduate students of color at the University of Washington and Washington State University. CSF will administer the undergraduate scholarships through the Leadership 1000 program. Ongoing Summer Programs Acquaint Students with College: Several summer enrichment programs were held to assist students with the transition to college. These included ACE, the Achievers College Experience, Make It Happen, and the HERO (Higher Education Readiness Opportunity) Academy.

The annual ACE program was held in June 2008 on the campus of Central Washington University and provided newly selected Achievers Scholars with the information and resources they will need to successfully navigate the college admissions and financial aid process and build a community of learners. Make it Happen! The College Experience is a one-ofa-kind program designed to help foster youth discover how to prepare for college. More than 100 students spent four days on the University of Puget Sound campus learning how to deal with the complexities of applying and paying for college. In addition to the HERO Academy, the HERO program offered academic enrichment and college awareness programs at several locations to help increase college readiness for underrepresented youth, especially 7th to10th grade males with the desire to go to college and the willingness to work hard. 2008 Costco Breakfast Raises Record Funds for Scholarships: The annual Costco Scholarship Breakfast raised more than $3 million, bringing the total to date to nearly $19 million. The 1000 attendees from the business and philanthropic communities heard keynote speaker Erin Gruwell, the president and founder of the Freedom Writers Foundation, talk about her experiences working with whom others called “unteachable at-risk” students in a Southern California high school.

Note 2: Because College Success Foundation follows generally accepted accounting principles, large grant contributions were recognized as revenue during the past nine years, but expenses related to these revenues will be recorded as the scholarship, program and indirect expenses are incurred over the life of these long-term grants, which range from five to fifteen years. This may result in a negative change in net assets in a particular year, but since it is a result of following generally accepted accounting principles, it is an accounting shortfall and not a cash shortfall. Scholarship, program and indirect expenses relating to these grants of $24,263,000 were recognized during the year ending December 31, 2008.
